The battle was fought amidst the advance of German forces through central Greece, and saw a brigade-sized element dubbed "Anzac Force" fight a delaying action against elements of two German divisions, supported by Bren Gun Carriers. 12 x1 The attack began just after 7:00 am with an attack from Gonnos towards the 2/2nd Battalion. Later, around noon, German units led by Lieutenant-Colonel Hermann Balck attacked the NZ 21st Battalion. The New Zealand 21st Battalion could not hold against Balcks's units, and was nearly overrun, retreating into the hills. At this point, some German tanks crossed the Pinios River, which the 21st had been guarding. This left the 2/2nd as the only unit left on the field to continue the battle. A unit of Bren Gun Carriers attempted to 13 x1 push back German troops crossing the river, but failed, with the loss of some of the carriers. Mortars were initially out of range of the German troops, but were overloaded with charge to give them greater range. Despite desperate holding actions, by 5:30 pm, the battle had degenerated into chaos, and the 2/2nd disintegrated under the German attacks. 14 x19 The defending Anzacs suffered heavy casualties and were forced back from the gorge, but their stand allowed other Allied forces to withdraw through Larissa, and afterwards a new defensive position was established around Thermopylae. 15 x1 Tracks DO NOT resupply.

Preliminary Results Regarding the Rock Falls of December 17, 2009 at Tempi, Greece
Bulletin of the Geological Soci- Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής ety of Greece, 2010 Εταιρίας, 2010 Proceedings of the 12th Interna- Πρακτικά 12ου Διεθνούς Συνεδρί- tional Congress, Patras, May, ου, Πάτρα, Μάιος 2010 2010 PRELIMINARY RESULTS REGARDING THE ROCK FALLS OF DECEMBER 17, 2009 AT TEMPI, GREECE Christaras B.1, Papathanassiou G.1, Vouvalidis K.2, Pavlides S.1 1 Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Department of Geology, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Department of Physical and Environmental Geography, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece, [email protected] Abstract On December 17, 2009, a large size rock fall generated at the area of Tempi, Central Greece causing one casualty. In particular, a large block was detached from a high of 70 meters and started to roll downslope and gradually became a rock slide. About 120 tones of rock material moved downward to the road resulting to the close of the national road. Few days after the slope failure, a field survey organized by the Department of Geology, AUTH took place in order to evaluate the rock fall hazard in the area and to define the triggering causal factors. As an out- come, we concluded that the heavily broken rock mass and the heavy rain-falls, of the previous days, contribute significantly to the generation of the slope failure. The rocky slope was limited stable and the high joint water pressure caused the failure of the slope. Key words: rock fall, Tempi, engineering geology, hazard, Greece 1. Introduction A rock fall is a fragment of rock detached by sliding, toppling or falling that falls along a vertical or sub-vertical cliff, proceeds down slope by bouncing and flying along ballistic trajectories or by rolling on talus or debris slopes (Varnes, 1978).

Active Faults in North Greece
The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources (GreDaSS): state-of-the-art for northern Greece. Caputo R.*, Chatzipetros A.°, Pavlides S.° and Sboras S.* *) Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ferrara, Italy °) Department of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources (GreDaSS) is a repository of geological, tectonic and active fault data for the Greek territory and its surroundings. In this paper, we present the state-of- the-art of an on-going project devoted to the building of GreDaSS, which represents the results of decades of investigations by the authors and a myriad of other researchers working on the active tectonics of the broader Aegean Region. The principal aim of this international project is to create a homogenized framework of all data relevant to the seismotectonics, and especially the seismic hazard assessment, of Greece and its surroundings as well as a common research platform for performing seismic hazard analyses, modelling and scenarios from specific seismogenic structures. In particular, we introduce and synthetically describe the results obtained (and included in the database) up to date relative to the northern sector of continental Greece and Aegean Sea. As a first step we collected all available data (both published and unpublished) relative to the historical and instrumental seismicity determining the causative faults. Following the experience of recent 'surprising' earthquakes (e.g. 1995 Kozani and 1999 Athens), we realized the deficiency of such approach and decided to include in GreDaSS also active faults (i.e. seismogenic sources) recognized on the basis of geological, structural, morphotectonic, palaeoseismological and geophysical investigations.

Decourt et L. Darmezin. Mais l'ex- ploitation des représentations théoriques fournies par les modèles n'est évidemment pas coupée de la réalité du terrain. Nous savons quelle est la valeur de l'observation des paysages et de la confrontation des vestiges archéologiques avec les textes, en deux mots, pour reprendre l'expression de L. Robert, nous nous efforçons, nous aussi, d'ap- préhender ensemble « la terre et le papier ». Nous nous apercevons cependant, en déve- loppant année après année de nouveaux outils d'analyse, de nouvelles représentations, que la pratique « classique », si perfectionnée soit-elle, ne peut pas prendre en compte certains types de problèmes. Je veux en donner ici un exemple : l'interprétation de l'inscription IG IX 2, 521, qui rapporte les éléments d'un conflit de frontière entre Kondaia et une cité dont le nom n'est pas exprimé dans la partie de l'inscription qui nous a été conservée. En me tenant à l'essentiel (il n'est pas question de commenter ici ce document dans son inté- gralité), je mettrai en évidence les points suivants : 1. Les interprétations jusqu'à présent avancées de cette inscription n'ont été que de vains discours, parce que les interprètes n'avaient pas les informations nécessaires pour identifier avec exactitude les lieux désignés par l'inscription.

Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The accomplishments of Philip II of Macedonia have long been overshadowed by those of his son, Alexander the Great, due to the spectacular nature of Alexander’s achievements and to the survival of ancient sources, though written later, that have documented Alexander’s reign. Little remains of the histories or writings of Philip’s contemporaries, and those that do remain are hostile to Philip and almost exclusively pro- Athenian. Ancient sources focus on Philip’s diplomacy, imperialism, and character flaws—all from the view of outsiders watching Philip’s actions against their Greek states. These ancient literary sources have necessarily focused the modern discussion of Greece in the 4th century BC on those same subjects and away from a survey of Philip’s policies, systems, and successes within Macedonia.

A complementary suite of tools and methods—including graphical processing, hydrogeochemical modeling, multivariate statistics and environmental isotopes—have been applied to a comprehensive dataset of physicochemical analyses and water level measurements. Results revealed that the initial hydrogeochemistry of groundwater was progressively impacted by secondary phenomena (e.g., ion exchange and redox reactions) which were clearly delineated into distinct zones according to data processing. The progressive evolution of groundwater was further verified by the variation of the saturation indices of critical minerals. In addition, the combined use of water level measurements delineated the major pathways of groundwater flow. Interestingly, the additional joint assessment of environmental isotopes revealed a new pathway from E–NE (which had never before been validated), thus highlighting the importance Citation: Vrouhakis, I.; Tziritis, E.; of the joint tools/methods application in complex scientific tasks.

Department of Mineralogy, Petrology, Economic Geology, School of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, GR-546 24, Thessaloniki, Greece [email protected] ABSTRACT The present work focuses on the white marbles which were extracted in Larisa prefecture, Cen- tral Greece, during the antiquity. Three characteristic ancient quarries, which are located in the Kas- tri village (Aghia area), in Kalochori (Sykourio area) and in Gonnoi (Tembi area), were selected for the present study. Data obtained from the extraction techniques are combined with the geological, mineralogical and stable isotopic features in order to determine these marble ancient sources. The average δ13C and δ18O values of the Kastri marble are +2.80‰ and 4.51‰ and of the Kalochori marble +0.87‰ and –8.33‰. At Gonnoi ancient quarrying sites, the isotopic results are heterogene- ous: +1.05‰ δ13C, -4.65‰ δ18O for Gonnoi 1A, +1.89‰ δ13C, -7.97‰ δ18O for Gonnoi 1B, +2.27‰ δ13C, -3.12‰ δ18O for Gonnoi 3. 1 INTRODUCTION The white marble, an attractive and brilliant stone, is strongly related to the social, religious and economic life of Greeks, from the Prehistoric period until today. Especially, throughout antiquity, from Classical and Hellenistic time to early Byzantine period, marble affected the rapid evolution of the technology and economy of the ancient Greeks.
